This conversion by ghostscript is needed, cause emacs supports PNG images, but doesn't support some native PDF/PS/DVI rendering. Joachim Verona currently works on integrating the imagemagick library with emacs. When that is done, at least zooming in doc-view won't trigger a new conversion run. > Converting the pdf|ps|dvi file to images is exactly what your > favourite viewer does.

I think that's the only practical solution, else you would have to wait about a scond when switching to the next page. The doc-view version in emacs 23 does a pretty good job in hiding the conversion process, for example by converting from the current page on instead from the first. Why are many files a problem for you? With that approach, opening a document for the second time works instantly. And by default those images are stored somewhere in /tmp: ,----[ C-h v doc-view-cache-directory RET ] | doc-view-cache-directory is a variable defined in `doc-view.el'. | Its value is "/tmp/docview1000" | | Documentation: | The base directory, where the PNG images will be saved. | | You can customize this variable. `---- On my system, /tmp is cleaned on startup. And you can always invoke ,----[ C-h f doc-view-clear-cache RET ] | doc-view-clear-cache is an interactive compiled Lisp function in | `doc-view.el'. | | (doc-view-clear-cache) | | Delete the whole cache (`doc-view-cache-directory'). `---- to get rid of the images.
